represents decency.
• Being pale: Sorrow.
• Having freckles or pimples on the face: Too many sins.
Face Dream Explanation
— One's
in a dream represents his state. If it appears cheerful and handsome looking in the dream, it represents glad tidings, happiness and a good life, though if it looks opaque in the dream, it means the opposite. In general, a yellow
in a dream means humiliation, loneliness, hypocrisy or illness. If a believer sees his
yellow in a dream, it denotes his devotion and fear of wrongdoing. Yellowness of the
in a dream also could mean being in love. If an African person sees his
white in a dream, it means hypocrisy, impudence and shamelessness. If a Caucasian sees his
black in a dream, it means that his heart and intentions are better than what a stranger may think of him. If one's
appears white and his body black in a dream, it means that he shows decency and disguises inappropriateness. If a whiskerless person sees hair growing over the sides of his upper lip in a dream, it means that he carries burdening debts, or that he has lost dignity. If one's
looks different or missing some of its clarity or beauty in a dream, it denotes someone who jokes excessively, for immoderate jesting, hilarity or mirth decreases people's respect. If there is no skin to cover one's cheeks in a dream, it means that he lives from asking others for his needs. Dust covering one's
in a dream means deficiency in one's religious devotion. If one's
or eyes turn bluish in a dream, it means that he is a criminal in Allah's sight. An opaque
in a dream represents a liar or an innovator. If the color of one's
is blush or reddish with white spots in the dream, it means joy, happiness and good living. If a righteous person sees his
blush in a dream, it means that he feels ashamed of something he did. If one's
is soaking with sweat in a dream, it represents his modesty and reserve. If one is frowning, and if the color of his
turns red in the dream, it means that he may suffer from distress or losses. Frowning in someone's
in a dream also means suffering at his hand. If a woman sees her
blackened with soot in a dream, it means the death of her husband. If she sees herself putting makeup and anointing herself with perfume in a dream, it means good news for her and for her husband. A smiling and a cheerful
in a dream connotes happiness and righteousness whether the person is alive or dead. The beauty of a woman's
or that of a child in a dream means blessings. Having two faces in a dream mean a grievous and an woeful end, for Allah Almighty does not look at someone who has two faces. If a scholar sees himself having several faces in a dream, it means that he is utilizing his knowledge in various applications, or giving a subject several possible interpretations. A frowning
, a crying
, a scarred
, or the darkness of one's
in a dream also mean loss of job, fear, or they could represent a liar. If the skin of one's
is cracking in a dream, it denotes lack of modesty or absence of shame. A disgusting look on one's
in a dream means loathsomeness, and loathsomeness in a dream represents a disgusting
. (Also see Body; Jesting)

in a dream means a sickness. If one sees his
bright yellow in a dream, it means that he will be among the exalted and blessed people in the hereafter. However, paleness of the
in a dream also may be interpreted as humiliation, jealousy, or hypocrisy. Paleness of the
in a dream also could mean devotion, standing up in prayers at night, observing night vigils, being in love, piety, contemplation, or being afraid of something. If one sees his
white and his body yellow in a dream, it means that what he shows outwardly is better than what he hides. On the other hand, if one's
is yellow and pale and his body is white in the dream, then it means that his heart is better than what others can perceive from his outer look. If both his
and body look pale and emaciated in a dream, it means an illness. Paleness of the

Skin Dream Explanation
— According to Ibn Siren, blackness refers to a person's wealth. A man once came to him and told him he dreamed that his fiancee had become black and short. "Her blackness," said Ibn Siren, "is her wealth. Her shortness, her life." And, in fact, the man married the girl, who did not live long and whose money he inherited. Red skin is a symbol of dignity and relief, especially if it is whitish. Yellow means disease, except if the yellow is gorgeous, in which case the dreamer will be close to God in the Hereafter, if God wills. A white complexion means that the dreamer is religious, faithful, and righteous. If his cheeks turn white, he will enjoy dignity and prosperity.
• Dreaming that a host of black women are coming to you: You will have plenty of welfare, but from the enemy side.
• Dreaming that your
is black and that you are wearing white clothes: You will have a female child in view of the Quranic verse that reads as follows: "When if one of them receiveth tidings of the birth of a female, his
remaineth darkened, and he is wroth inwardly." ("Al-Nahl" [The Bees], verse 58.)
• Your
being black and your clothes dirty: You are lying to God.
• Your
turning black and dusty: You will die.
• A man dreaming that he has red makeup on his cheeks like women: He is an adulterer.

— If one sees himself turning in his sleep and putting his
down, or resting on his stomach in a dream, it means that he will turn away from his faith and lose both his earnings in this world and in the hereafter. If one sees the reverse, which is turning from resting on one's stomach to lying on his back in a dream, it means that he will repent for his sins. It also represents his willingness to
the people and to correct his wrongdoing. If the subject is a woman, then sleeping on her stomach in a dream means that she is refusing to sleep with her husband. (Also see Running away; Take a flight; Sleep)
Incident Dream Explanation
— It is reported that once, while Ibn Sirin (RA) was having his lunch,a lady came to him and informed him that she had seen a dream. When he asked her to relate it she said: "Not until you have finished your meal". After having had his meal, she said; "I saw the moon entering the planet Taurus and a voice from behind me said to me: Go to Ibn Sirin and relate to him your dream!. Hearing this, the Imaam's
turned pale and he got up holding his stomach. His sister came to himasking: " What's the matter with you? Why has your
turned pale? He said "Why should it not when this lady has brought to me the news of my death after seven days?" And truly, the Imaam (RA) passed away on the seventh day after this dream. May allah have mercy upon him.

— (See Face)
Tubercle Dream Explanation
— Dreaming of tubercles on the body and
symbolizes too many sins.
Dishevelled Hair Dream Explanation
— Hair which has grown long, covering the
forewarns grief and sorrow.
Cow Dream Explanation
— A cow in a dream represents longevity. A black or a yellow cow represents happiness, prosperity and a good harvest. A white spot on a cow's
means firmness if seen in a dream at the early part of the year. The piebald cow or a cow blotched with white and black in a dream means the same, though the latter also represents firmness when seen in the middle of the year. A fat cow in a dream represents longevity and prosperity. A fat cow in a dream also may represent a pious woman. An emaciated cow in a dream represents drought. Drinking cow's milk or eating its meat or fat in a dream means prosperity and earning lawful income for that year. If the cow has horns, it represents a rebellious woman. If a dairy cow allows the person to draw her milk in a dream, it means conferring benefits. Otherwise, if it refuses to allow the person to milk her in the dream, it means dissonance and discord. If a servant sees himself milking his master's cow in a dream, it means that he will marry his wife after the master dies, and that he will become extremely rich. If a cow enters one's house and thrusts against him, or butts against him in the dream, it means losses and mistrust in one's own family. If one sees himself hitting a cow with a wooden stick or biting a cow in a dream, the cow then represents his sins. If a cow
someone in a dream, it means an illness. If one is attacked by a cow or a steer in a dream, it means that a great punishment will befall him, or it could mean that he may be killed during that same year. If one sees himself riding a black cow, or if a cow enters his house, where he ties her to a pole in his dream , it means money, good business and dispelling of his anxiety, sadness, loneliness or distress. A slaughtered cow in a dream represents a calamity. If a shipment of yellow cows arrives at the port of a city in a dream, it means a plague or the spreading of unknown diseases. If a herd of ugly looking cows enters a city with smoke emanating from their noses, and if the people hate their look in the dream, it means a raid, an enemy, or that unwanted solders will control that town. If one sees himself riding a cow in a dream, it means that he will inherit a woman. If one is offered a cow hide as a gift in a dream, it means that he will receive money from someone in authority. On the other hand, if one is stripped of a cow's hide he owns in a dream, it represents a fine that he will have to pay. To see the calf of the Children of Israel in a dream means dissension, temptation or a murder. It also may mean a miraculous event, or that a heavenly sign will take place in that locality. If the person is disobedient to his mother, he will repent and turn to be good to her. If a cow butts against him in a dream, it means that Allah is displeased with him. (Also see Counting cows)

Nothing is "made from assembly", assembly is just a way for humans to name the instructions the CPU understands.
Assembly language doesn't know anything about "types" either, it just has instructions which operate on data of various sizes (typically 8, 16, 32 bits but also vector types as well) and it is up to the assembly programmer to use the correct instructions for the correct data (in the case of high level languages, the compiler is the assembly programmer, and it knows which types of data reside at specific addresses, so it makes sure the correct types of instructions are used).
You can easily scan for strings in code by dumping the executable into a hex viewer (Visual Studio will display a hex dump if you rename the file .bin instead of .exe), assuming the strings aren't encrypted in some way.
Looking for other types is more difficult since you need to know the type of the variable that occupies the address.
To read memory from a running process have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms680553%28v=vs.85%29.aspx (assuming Windows).

He really wants to wrestle on Sunday. Brands is holding him out.
RIP Jacob Schlottke; KR1963 and rpayton
Isn't Des Moines a suburb of Urbandale?
If it's not now it may be in thirty years. On of my best friends lives in Clive. I visit him every year when I come back to Iowa for National Duals.
All you Des Moines area wrestling fans should schedule a meet-up someday.
I predict a total meltdown.
Please tell me, when it comes to game time(big 10's, NCAA's) Who will beat perry? Who? Perry is head and shoulders above these kids in experience and talent. This is far from being a strong/deep weight class also. If he's above 90% come go time, it's all perry, all the time.
Nice first post spaz. If you think 90% is going to get it done against the Top two or three at that class you are off your rocker.
I give Marable a decent shot as well if Perry isn't 100%.
Not to mention Brown who I think still owns a major over Perry whether you want to blame it on cutting weight or not.
You all want to say Reiter is done and is sucking too much weight but I haven't seen him majored by a guy in his whole career much less someone outside of the Top 10.
Lets see...cutting lots of weight...check, coming off a knee surgery...check.
We will see what Perry can do. I predict high AA but I say he goes down.

House to vote on stopgap funding bill, Obamacare'By ANDREW TAYLOR
The Associated Press | September 20,2013WASHINGTON The White House promised a veto of a Republican effort to gut President Barack Obamas health care law that is part of a temporary funding bill in the House to prevent a partial government shutdown on Oct. 1.
The official policy statement issued Thursday said the GOP attempt to block Obamacare advances a narrow ideological agenda that threatens our economy and the interests of the middle class and would deny millions of hard-working, middle-class families the security of affordable health coverage.
The veto threat was expected and wasnt going to stop House Republicans from pressing their effort to defund the health care law.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the House will pass a bill Friday to keep the government running while gutting Obamas health care law.
The fight over here has been won. The fight over there (in the Senate) is just beginning, Boehner said Thursday. I expect my Senate colleagues to do everything they can to defund this law, just like the House is going to do.
While raising the possibility of a government closure, the latest GOP plan is actually aimed at avoiding one. GOP leaders are looking to shift the fight over health care to even more important legislation required to prevent the government from defaulting on its financial obligations.
Even top advocates of the strategy to defund Obamas health care law by attaching it to a stopgap government funding bill acknowledge it has no future in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Senate Democrats have the votes to strip away the health care provision and send the stopgap measure right back to the House.
Republicans in the House spent Wednesday talking about how hard they would fight to derail the health care law on the eve of its implementation and werent conceding that their Senate rivals would undo their handiwork. But a key force in the tea party drive against the law conceded the point even before the fight officially began, yet urged the House to force a government shutdown rather than retreat.
Harry Reid will no doubt try to strip the defund language from the continuing resolution, and right now, he likely has the votes to do so, said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. At that point, House Republicans must stand firm, hold their ground and continue to listen to the American people.
House Republicans expressed anger when Cruz conceded that Senate Democrats have the votes to beat him. Cruz was only reflecting reality, but House Republicans accused him of surrendering before the fight even began.
Cruz is advocating a shutdown rather than allow the health care law to move forward. He told The Associated Press Thursday that the 1995-96 government shutdown was just a partial, temporary government shutdown that didnt hurt Republicans politically as much as most people think and that it helped spark welfare reform in 1996 and a budget deal in 1997.
Nobody likes that outcome. But it also wasnt the end of the world, Cruz said.
Cruz reading of history is open to question; its true that during the partial shutdown, essential government services continued, but the confrontation had little connection to welfare reform or the budget deal that came more than a year later.
A likely outcome of Fridays vote would be that the House would vote to pass a funding bill stripped of the health care provision and send it to Obama to avert a shutdown. Top GOP leaders in the House and Senate made it clear they have no appetite for a shutdown showdown.
I dont think that any reasonable person thinks theres anything to be gained by a government shutdown, Republican Sen. John Cornyn, another Texan, said. Rather than a shutdown of government, what we need is a Republican victory in 2014 so we can be in control. Im not sure those are mutually compatible.
GOP leaders have telegraphed they would likely concede to the Senates demand for a stopgap spending bill shorn of the Obamacare provision but that they would carry on the fight over legislation to increase the governments borrowing cap.
There should be no conversation about shutting the government down, Boehner said. Thats not the goal here.
The debt-limit measure, required to allow the government to pay all of its bills on time, would be brought to the House floor as early as next week and would allow the Treasury to borrow freely for one year.
Republicans vow to load that bill with a GOP wish list, including another assault on the health care bill and a provision to force the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries, a project that environmentalists oppose and that the Obama administration so far has refused to approve.
Democrats strongly denounced the Republican move. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said the GOP was pursuing an insane plan. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said, A group of extremists is threatening to hold our government hostage.
Obama, speaking Wednesday to business executives at a meeting of the Business Roundtable, said, You have never seen in the history of the United States the debt ceiling or the threat of not raising the debt ceiling being used to extort a president or a governing party and trying to force issues that have nothing to do with the budget and have nothing to do with the debt.
The Obama administrations budget director, Sylvia Burwell, issued a memo to department heads that said, Prudent management requires that agencies be prepared for the possibility of a lapse in funding.
On Thursday, Boehner jabbed at Obama for saying he wont negotiate with Republicans over raising the debt ceiling, noting that the Obama administration negotiated with Russia over how to address chemical weapons in Syria.
While the president is happy to negotiate with Vladimir Putin, he wont engage with the Congress on a plan that deals with the deficits that threaten our economy, Boehner told reporters.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK The stock market moved lower Friday, snapping four days of gains, as U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Apparently, airline passengers arent buying enough garden gnomes, superhero pajamas...

- Sex: Female
Dutches's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Dutches is a very pretty small hound girl. She is about 2 to 3 years old and weighs around 36 pounds.

Dutches is a very sweet dog she loves attention and being outdoors. She is great on a leash and good in the car, she also is good with other dogs... She has been waiting for her forever home. How about yours? Adoption fee $125
Other Pets at Every K-9 Counts
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dutches, a Clayton Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Clayton, or seeking a Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Clayton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Clayton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Clayton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Clayton paves the way for another one to be saved.

My husband and I came to relationship the same way: we both always assumed we would have a child, we just didn't know when. Like so many, we thought first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. But, it's been almost four years and the conversation hasn't progressed much further along, until we were both staring at my picture in the paper last week with a caption that read, Tamsen Fadal, 40, is one of a growing number of NYC women—who include TV host Rachel Ray—who are prioritizing their fabulous lifestyles over having kids. Now we are talking.
Both of our mothers died of cancer at very young ages, and that is always something we bring up in the conversation. My mother died of breast cancer. She was a great mother. It was what she lived for. But, after she died, I was always very scared to love that much again. And so, the idea of a child was never at the forefront of my mind. I put my career there once I got out of school and never gave it much thought—until now.
We've had the Baby Talk countless times in the past, but without any true resolution. I can't compare it to any other conversation we have had, in terms of seriousness (though it's always been a discussion, never an argument—not even close to one, actually). Even when we talked about marriage years ago, that conversation paled in comparison. This one involves many factors, so much to take into consideration and for both of us, it's important for it to be the right time. Though, all moms tell me, there never is a right time. Our Children Don't Make Me Happy
We take everything into account: careers, money, family around to help and, of course, health. At 40 and 44, we are now faced with the reality that it could be very difficult for us to even have a baby. But, still, we are weighing the pros and concerns (we don't see them as "cons"). Concerns such as: do we want children at a late age? Will be we good parents? Is New York City going to be a good place to raise them? Can we afford to raise them in New York City? And finally, the question that brings us full circle: when?

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Bradenton is readying to usher in a new class of medical students.
An open house is scheduled for the Class of 2013 from 9 a.m. to noon, July 26.
More than 162 students, of which more than half are from Florida, will report to class July 27.
"With Florida being hit the hardest with the physician shortage, it is our hope that by recruiting more students from Florida, we will be able to train them and have them stay in-state for their post-graduate training," LECOM Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Robert George said.
Second-year medical students will start classes Aug. 3, and pharmacy students will report back Aug. 24.

5 Healthy Ways to Get Through Holiday Craze!
I'm the first to admit I have some strong opinions, some of which have been wildly popular, and others absolutely not. That could be because we have been indoctrinated into a modicum of agreement on what's polite, etiquette or even appropriate when it comes to giving unsolicited advice. Or (my suspicion is) we are simply afraid of the truth. However you look at it, the consequences for such straight talk can be stringent; tribal ostracization, social paralysis or, worse, no one likes you and you die alone. Yet somehow the threat of becoming such a pariah doesn't stop me from trying to penetrate the unconsciousness that most of us suffer from. And sometimes it feels as though a direct blow to the ego is in order. Especially because, honestly… I just can't help myself. I think I may quite seriously be genetically incapable of keeping my mouth shut under certain circumstances; either that or I have an emotional stigmata. While most of my uncontrollable urges seem to well from beneath the radar of my conscious awareness, there are just some things that swell from deep in my heart that I love to share, always in the hopes that any tiny eensie weensie bit may help comfort your soul and awaken you to the true nature of your divine self!
So here I go, like Donna Reed on steroids; here is some wholesome, salient, advice on how to get through the holidays, happy AND healthy!
FORGIVE ~Make a list of everyone in your family and immediate sphere of influence that you are "out of sorts" with. Then either write a sincere letter making amends for your part in the situation, or sit quietly every day for the next two weeks for 3-5 minutes and pray for that person (people), wishing them everything they want for themselves (my definition of love). One of the fastest ways I know to free up your spirit so you can enjoy the magic of the season with a more open heart. You are also less inclined to medicate or do self-destructive things when you feel and begin to heal and deal with the truth, rather than cover the pain!
GET IN SERVICE~ Pick someone you know who is hurting (or suffering more than you) and reach out to them and see what you can do to make their season more filled with light and joy! If you don't know anyone, there are a huge number of food and clothing drives you can contribute to or get involved in directly. Just go online. Including women's and homeless shelters!
MOVE YOUR BODY~ Make sure you are moving your body every day and make it fun. Maybe sign up for a dance class, join the 5 Rhythms dance community, take up ice skating or tango. Or if you know how to do any of these, go teach a class at an a school or old folks home. As my friend Gabrielle Roth says the best way to heal the psyche is to put the body in motion!
EXPRESS YOURSELF~ Gift-giving can make anyone feel overwhelmed, resentful or even insecure. One easy and fun thing to do is make something from your heart! I wrote and recorded a song once and gave it as a gift. There are really inexpensive ways to do this now! Or if gifts aren't an issue, join a church choir or start a caroling group!

AT&T Park
Attendance: None
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Pinch-hitter Bengie Molina knocked in the winning run with a ground-rule double in the bottom of the 10th inning, as the San Francisco Giants outlasted the San Diego Padres, 1-0, to sweep a two-game series at AT&T Park.
Andres Torres reached base in the 10th on a single and stole second to set up Molina's clutch hit for the Giants, who beat the Padres 8-3 on Tuesday and have won three straight.
"I asked Bengie before the game if he was ready to win this game for us. He is our best RBI guy, so that was a no brainier," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said.
Barry Zito pitched seven strong innings for San Francisco, allowing just six hits to go along with five strikeouts. The former American League Cy Young Award winner improved his ERA to 5.63 in the no-decision. Brian Wilson (1-0) tossed the final two innings to pick up the win.
Scott Hairston went 2-for-5 at the plate with a double for the Padres, who finished an eight-game road trip with a 4-4 mark.
Chris Young pitched a solid seven frames for San Diego, giving up just two hits with three strikeouts and four walks. The 6-foot-10 right-hander improved his ERA to 3.42. Edwin Moreno (0-2) allowed one run on two hits to pick up the loss.
Moreno got Juan Uribe to ground out to begin the 10th. Torres singled to right and stole second with pinch-hitter Eugenio Velez batting. Velez went down swinging to record the second out of the inning and Fred Lewis was intentionally walked to put runners on first and second. Molina drove a 2-1 changeup into the gap in left-center for a ground-rule double, scoring Torres to give San Francisco the win.
Bob Howry took over on the mound for the Giants in the top of the eighth. Hairston welcomed the right-hander to the hill by stroking a ground-rule double to left field. David Eckstein's sacrifice bunt advanced Hairston to third, then Howry was replaced by Jeremy Affeldt. The left-hander got Brian Giles and Adrian Gonzalez to go down looking to prevent any runs from scoring.
Luke Gregerson took the hill for the Padres in the home half of the inning and retired the side in order.
San Francisco turned to Wilson in the ninth. Kevin Kouzmanoff singled on a liner to left field after Chase Headley started the frame with a pop out. Wilson got Nick Hundley to pop out and Luis Rodriguez on strikes, giving the Giants' offense a shot to win the game in the bottom half.
The Giants went down in order in the home half of the ninth to send the contest into extras.
Young's bid for a no-hitter was ruined in the fifth inning, as Travis Ishikawa singled to left leading off. Uribe followed with a walk to set up a first and second situation with no outs. Following a Torres fly out, Zito's sacrifice bunt advanced the runners to second and third but Young got Lewis to pop out and end the frame.
The Padres had runners in scoring position in the top of the sixth, but failed to capitalize. Eckstein and Gonzalez singled and Eckstein moved to third with two outs but Zito got Kouzmanoff to pop out to escape the inning.
San Francisco put runners on first and second with one out in the home half but Young retired the next two batters of fly outs.

Greetings fellow Defensive Carry Members,
I am a 69 YO Male recently moved to Missouri from Alabama. I have been carrying open and concealed (where legal) since 1966. I just recently attended the required class in Missouri and have applied for my CCW permit. I am married and my wife and I are living in a small 1BR apartment while our house is being built. I retired two years ago and just a couple of months ago sold the home in Alabama and moved back to Missouri. I have two married daughters and a married son living within 5 miles of my home here in St. Charles county. I have 8 grandchildren.
I am interested in carrying concealed because i want to be in a position to protect my family and I refuse to be a defenseless victim. I carry a Glock 27 in a Fobus paddle holster and also carry a Ruger SR1911. I have taken many defense classes and i shoot both handguns every week. I practice shooting with both eyes open and in daylight and in the dark with a flashlight. I also practice magazine changes.
but greetings to all and glad to be a part of the forum.

Special Harvard Commentary: The Ethical Debate Over Embryonic Stem Cells
Last reviewed and revised on May 20, 2013
By Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. Embryonic stem cells can turn into virtually any type of specialized cell. But because embryonic stem cells come from human embryos, they are the subject of a huge ethical controversy. The Moral Arguments Embryonic stem cells come from very early embryos. Such embryos:
The ethical question is simple: Is the embryo from which embryonic stem cells are taken a human life? When does life begin? Since removing the stem cells destroys the embryo, if an early embryo is a human life, then a human life has been destroyed.
One issue on which virtually all scientists and the general public agree is that creating a human clone and then trying to let that embryo grow into a human baby is unethical. Such "reproductive cloning" has been performed successfully in animals, the most famous example being the sheep named Dolly.
In 2007, cells very much like embryonic stem cells were created in both mice and humans by reprogramming specialized cells, and without creating an embryo! Since the ethical questions around human embryonic stem cells involve destroying an embryo from which embryonic stem cells have been taken, successful reprogramming in humans would be unlikely to raise ethical concerns.
The Legal Realities
There are two legal realities in the United States that affect the argument over the morality of using embryonic stem cells. The first is that abortion has been legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court — under certain conditions.
The second legal reality is that since 2001, there have been a limited number of embryonic stem cells for researchers to use. Although that limitation was eased by President Barack Obama in 2009, there still are constraints that some scientists feel are unnecessarily holding back research.
Can Scientific Research Change the Ethical Argument?
There are three possibilities that could make the ethical conflict irrelevant.
- Reprogramming — This involves tricking specialized cells to turn into cells very much like embryonic stem cells. This eliminates the need to collect embryonic stem cells from embryos, and hence would eliminate the ethical concerns in humans. However, it remains uncertain if this technique will work and be safe, if applied in humans.
- Giving adult stem cells the same ability as embryonic stem cells to turn into virtually any tissue. — This means there would be no need for embryonic stem cells. Recently, some adult stem cells called "multipotent adult progenitor cells" have been discovered that may have greater potential than most adult stem cells. However, it is too early to know if this potential will be so great that it avoids the need for embryonic stem cells.
- Coaxing specialized cells to reproduce themselves — Recently, Harvard researchers found that, in mice, the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas can do just this. Those same researchers discovered in 2013 a natural body chemical that can make this happen. If other specialized cells could be similarly coaxed, and if this could occur in humans as well as in mice, it could also eliminate the need for stem cell therapies.
- Transforming one specialized cell into another type of specialized cell, without first creating a stem cell — Recently, Harvard researchers accomplished this feat in living mice. One kind of pancreas cell was transformed into a beta cell — the kind of cell in the pancreas that makes insulin. If this feat could be achieved in humans, it could have important implications for treating diabetes. If this feat could be achieved with other types of specialized cells in other organs — for example, transforming one type of heart cell into heart muscle cells, to replace cells killed during a heart attack — it could have implications for many other diseases, as well.

Evansville-Vanderburgh County Government Consolidation Referendum, 2010
Not on Ballot |
This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot |
The Evansville-Vanderburgh County Government Consolidation Referendum will appear on a November 2 ballot in Vanderburgh County.
This ended up not being approved for the November election.
Path to the ballot
A petition drive was started in the county to collect more than 2,600 signatures, or 5 percent of area registered voters, by October 15, 2009 to force a referendum question for public vote.
The League of Women Voters is backing a measure that would alter the Evansville government and change it to a city-county government consolidation, arguing that it would "streamline" the local government. According to the group, a consolidated government would also stimulate economic development because it would give businesses a simplified government that would enable them to better deal with local officials. According to Roberta Heiman, league president:"We believe it's time for serious consideration of all possible things that might improve the efficiency of local governments...We think, most of all, that it's time for the citizens to be allowed to vote on whether to do this."[1]
As of October 3rd, the petition had obtained half the amount of voters that it needs to enable a vote to be held on the issue. Little resistance to the consolidation had been found while members of the league were out collecting signatures. Some of those citizens in unincorporated areas of the county held fears that their taxes would increase with this consolidation, but with tax caps for the county that fear is unfounded. This is just the first step in government changes, noting that government efficiency is needed most at this time.[2] As of November 8th, the petition had obtain 75 percent of the signatures needed to get it to a vote.[3]
The petition has achieved its signature goal and will be on the November ballot for voters to decide on. The county clerk has verified over 2,700 signatures on the petition, giving it more than enough to qualify for the ballot. But before it can be put to a vote, both the county commission and the city council need to approve the consolidation.[4] The county commission has 30 days to decide on the issue, the League of Women Voters is hoping that it will not take the entire month to decide. The county commission seemed optimistic about the issue and noted that many were in favor of creating a more efficient government.[5]
December 16 the county commission agreed to hold a public hearing on the issue. The committee will hear both sides of the consolidation argument then have a year to give recommendations and put the issue to a vote if the governments agree to do so. The election board needs to certify the ballot question by August 1 in order for it to appear on the November ballot.[6]
The proposal has gone through its initial round of meetings, ending with a council decision to ensure that a simple majority of the voters is all that is needed for the measure to pass. They also agreed on a study about the effects the consolidation would have on the two communities. But the council only has till August 2 to finalize the ballot question in order for it to appear on the November ballot. Council members and citizens for the consolidation are pressing the issue and hoping to get finished before the deadline.[7]

Wednesday, August 06 14:25:21
Dublin's pubs are seeing light at the end of the tunnel at last with pub visits set to rise by 4pc in second half of this year with women and younger people leading the sales rise.
That's according to a new survey from the Licensed Vintners Association (LVA), which also found that two out of three Dublin drinkers have a 'local'.
It also found that two out of five visit a pub at least once a week and 79pc believe going for a drink with their friends is an important part of their social lives.
The CEO of the LVA, Donall O'Keefe said the findings underlined the importance of Dublin pubs to the social life of the city and it was important to assess their role from time to time.
"We are seeing some positive signs in the pub trade right now and the findings of this survey show we can look to the future with renewed confidence. People go to pubs to catch up with their friends, to relax, to have a few drinks, meet new people and perhaps to talk about things they might not ordinarily discuss," he said.
"For example over half of men believe pubs provide them with an opportunity to talk about sensitive issues. Clearly people are very comfortable doing all these things in a pub and this is reflected in the survey with 71pc saying they feel at home in a Dublin pub and over 60pc describing Dublin pubs as the best in the world," Mr O'Keefe added.
Three out of four described the standard of service in Dublin pubs as good with speed of service identified as the key characteristic of a good bar person, followed by the ability to multi task and having a sense of humour.
"Small traditional pubs are favoured by the majority and especially those over 55, but young men tend to prefer city centre bars while women have a preference for bars with a beer garden. Although people generally go to the pub with their friends, partner or work colleagues, young middle class men are the most likely to go to the pub by themselves. For women the pub is nearly always a collective experience," said Mr O'Keefe.

Moving to Colorado - page 2
I need help! My husband and I are considering moving to the Frisco,CO area (near Breckenridge) but we have looked at the cost of living there and it is crazy. He has his BSN and I am an LVN finishing... Read More
0Dec 17, '03 by LilRedRN1973Move to Tahoe....plenty of ski resorts here....Heavenly, Alpine, Kirkwood (which is number #3 or #4 for the amount of snow in the US), Squaw, and about 8 other resorts. But I understand the call of the Rockies......I used to live in Steamboat Springs and I remember how beautiful it was there. We have actually considered moving there, but we can't afford the Denver area (which is where I would like to live). My best friend lives in Boulder and keeps trying to get us to move there.....HA...we couldn't afford Boulder unless we won the stinking lottery! I went looking on realtor.com to see what was available in the Denver area and could not find anything under $225k that wasn't a townhouse or condo. I'm not sure how my friend has been able to afford it. She makes about $32 an hour as a flight attendant, but that's not enough to be able to afford that.
So we have looked at other places in the state...Montrose for one. Cost of living is pretty cheap, as is real estate. Plus, it's really pretty there. But we have to take a trip there as a family to see if hubbie will like it. -
0Dec 26, '03 by RoseYonnexHi Mazie!
I live in Breckenridge, CO. I am currently taking pre-requisites to get into nursing school. Right now I am a court reporter and own a business.
But I can tell you that the cost of living that you quoted is about right. It is very expensive to live here because it is basically ski towns in Summit and Eagle Counties. (if it wasn't for the ski industry, there would be no towns!) There are a lot of second homeowners around. You can, however, sometimes save some money by living off of the beaten path if you are willing to drive. Where are you planning to move to exactly?
Just to give you an overview of the area: Summit County includes the cities of Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon, Keystone. And Eagle County includes the towns of Vail, Beaver Creek, Avon, Edwards, Eagle, Gypsum. Those are the major cities in the counties. The "Vail" area is approximately 45 minutes over Vail Pass from Frisco on I-70.
The main hospital in this area is the Vail Valley Medical Center and is located in Vail. However, they are planning to build a hospital in Frisco in the near future. I'm hoping that by the time I get out of school that may be finished. There is a small medical center in Frisco, and there is one in Breckenridge. But most of those patients are eventually taken to the main hospital in Vail. Everybody who has a baby in Summit County does it at the Vail hospital.
I don't really think that the hospital pays more for the cost of living (at least that I've heard). Most "locals" as we call them, just live in smaller homes compared to the rest of the country. People just adapt. The quality of life is much better if you like the out doors. The great majority of the people move here because they love to ski, they love snow, and the summers are awesome!! People here buy a modest place, then they gradually move up house-wise once they have built up equity in the home. But, there is no place to buy for $65,000!!! (I wish!) I would say the average home price is $300,000 for a small home. Then maybe $200,000 for a townhome. The Vail area is generally more expensive than Summit County.
One thing to note for the state of Colorado in general is that there is no difference in salary between an RN that has a bachelors and an associates-degree RN. (So if you get your bachelors, you may as well get your master's to get a pay increase.) I don't know if it is different in Texas, but that is one thing to consider if you have to start over and start at the bottom again.
Anyway...I hope I've been helpful! If you have any more questions, please email me!

2005 Ford Focus ZX4 SES
ProsFuel economy, handles well. ConsSuspension is cheap: sway bar and links, suspension knuckle, control arm, ball joints. Replace and WELD
Great Car Overall, Has Potential But Lacks The Engineering. Very Modifiable. — Fuel economy: Great! Handling: Above average; with suspension mods and Dunlop SP60's (passenger tire with an aggressive tread) I drive a lot of dirt roads ;) Power... ok. Surprised me the first couple times I punched it in bottom of 2nd. Ball joints are DANGEROUS! Tac weld some washers on top of them if you don't like trees, ditches, etc. 4 door model is decently roomy for 2 average sized people on a camping/whitewater kayaking trip. It's fun to drive, especially on back roads in the mountains. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsIt runs fine ConsThe Doors handles are bad
Good Backup Car — I got this car as a backup for when my regular vehicles are broken down, the car had been wrecked priore to my owning it so I knew would have some isues befor I bought it. Overall the car has been good to me. The main complaint I have is that the door handles are complete junk and are always braking. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SES
Prostop of its class as far as driving fast is concerned Consno rear disk brakes
Love It ! — above average performance in all aspects(122 bhp-6500rpm 0-100km/h: 10.5 top speed: 210 km/h or 130 mph), great quality,low noise level at normal speeds, very few repairs (within logical mileage), stylish but not very fancy either, "thirsty" if driven fast, too fun to drive - the best on that pricetag if you ask me- always predictable though, whenever I'm in my focus no matter where I go I always want to drive it as fast as I can! because this is the way cars like this should be driven... I know there are much faster and much better cars than mine, I overtake them often LOL Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Juan Miranda and Miguel Montero both hit solo homers to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, in the finale of a three-game interleague series.
Chris Young drove in two runs for the Diamondbacks, who took all three games in this set. Stephen Drew had two hits and an RBI.
Daniel Hudson (9-5) gave up three runs on six hits to pick up the win. He has now won three straight starts and is 6-0 in his last eight, with Arizona going 7-1 in that span.
Matt Treanor and Alcides Escobar had an RBI apiece for the Royals, who have lost five in a row and seven of eight overall.
Felipe Paulino (0-1) remained winless in a Kansas City uniform despite pitching into the ninth. He allowed five runs on nine hits to go with eight strikeouts and one walk.
"He got a little away from his game in the first two innings with all the breaking balls," Royals manager Ned Yost said of Paulino. "He was shaking Treanor off. He needed to get more aggressive with a fastball, but made the adjustment and got us into the ninth inning."
The D-Backs got on the board in the first inning. Ryan Roberts singled and Justin Upton was hit by a pitch to put men on first and second with one out. The runners moved up a base when Drew grounded out and both scored on Young's base hit to left.
Montero led off the second with a homer to right to make it 3-0.
The Royals responded with two runs in the home second. Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas singled to put men on first and second with one out. With Treanor batting, catcher Montero threw to first in an attempt to pickoff Moustakas. Montero's throw went into right field and Gordon came around to score on the error. Treanor walked before Escobar hit an RBI single.
Arizona tacked on another run in the third. Roberts and Kelly Johnson hit consecutive singles to start the frame. The runners advanced to second and third on a wild pitch. Drew's RBI double made it 4-2.
Miranda hit a solo homer to right in the fourth, but Kansas City got the run back in the home half on Treanor's RBI single.
Paulino retired 13 straight batters before Drew led off the ninth with a single. Young then walked to chase Paulino from the game. Everett Teaford got Montero to ground into a double play. Greg Holland was then called in from the bullpen to record the final out of the frame.
Aaron Heilman tossed a perfect eighth and J.J. Putz pitched a scoreless ninth for his 20th save.
"Any time you can get quick outs and close the door for the starters, who have been pitching great for the last, shoot, month-and-a-half to two months, it's always nice to come up to the clubhouse and you get to shake their hands right away and get the job done for them," Putz said.
